Project Objectives

These are the objectives of the North Albany Refinement Plan:

  • Keep traffic on Highway 20 moving smoothly, and look for ways to delay its reaching capacity.
  • Plan land use to reduce auto use and encourage walking, biking, and using transit.
  • Plan for livable neighborhoods that include village centers.
  • Be creative with higher-density uses, to avoid expanding the Urban Growth Boundary.
  • Guide development in the right density and mix to meet housing needs and community preferences, and limit impact on City services.
  • Resolve water and sewer issues.
  • Guide development to respect floodplain, hillside, and wetland constraints.
  • Continue to involve citizens in decision-making.
